"Aha" in Wonderland

When Alice ran to Wonderland

We remarked in awe 

A quaint adventure of a little girl

is what we usually saw

But look at what you really see 

past each character and simile

Life reflected back on you

Fantasy mixed with something true

Alice will tumble far

the holes in life are often deep

but there is always a bottom

regardless of how steep 

Her journey takes her back home again

But she is changed thanks to where she's been

Wonderland was full of danger and delight

Much as reality is a concoction of wrong and right 

Follow not the Cheshire cat

tricksters will lead you astray

Only you and your true heart

can lead you on your way

Alice met many different foes as she traveled forward

We too must face our Jabberwocky's with our vorpal sword

Each person met is a lesson needed to be learned

Lest not forget the Mad Hatter's madness was something that he earned

The Queen of Hearts screams

'Off with their heads!"

Because she wants to rip

Her own to shreds.

These person's filled with insolence 
have lost their hope and innocence


Patience and kindness may be hard to find
but their hatred isn't you, it's in their own mind

They became a part of the darkness as many often do

Be the beacon of light that helps them see whats true

The White Queen needs not

Raise her voice,

Between evil and good

There is no choice.

Be as the queen with a pure heart

Even as the world becomes more dark

You too will find home again

Just follow the path you find within

The rabbit may be

Running terribly late

But time will determine

Each player’s fate
